¿Qué cubre este video?

Before departing on a 600-mile offshore passage from the Northeast to Beaufort, North Carolina, the owner of the wooden schooner Arabella performs several maintenance tasks to prepare the vessel. He applies clear sail repair tape over the batten pockets on the mainsail to prevent lazy jack lines from snagging during hoists.2:00 To stop hardware from sliding on the slippery, high-gloss painted wooden boom, he glues custom stops directly to the boom surface using epoxy.6:59 He also adjusts the rig tension to correct mast rake and tighten the jib and staysail wires, using a Petzl Grigri belay device to tension the shrouds.12:48 During the five-day transit, the autopilot fails when the rudder feedback sensor connection breaks; the crew restores functionality by securing the wire with friction tape.19:19 The crew also catches a mahi-mahi while underway.20:41
